June 27, 2013
In accordance with MCL 333.7524a, I am pleased to present to the Michigan Legislature the 21st comprehensive report on asset forfeiture. Michigan’s asset forfeiture program saves taxpayer money and deprives drug criminals of cash and property obtained through illegal activity. Michigan’s law enforcement community has done an outstanding job of stripping drug dealers of illicit gain and utilizing these proceeds to expand and enhance drug enforcement efforts to protect our citizens.
During 2012, over $26.5 million in cash and assets amassed by drug traffickers was forfeited. Extensive multi-agency teamwork is evident in this report. Considerable assets were obtained as the result of joint enforcement involving many agencies at the federal, state, and local levels.
Forfeiture funds were used to enhance law enforcement by providing resources for personnel, needed equipment, K-9 expenses, prevention programs, and matching funds to obtain federal grants. Michigan’s recently amended Drug Forfeiture Statute allowed some agencies to contribute monies to non-profit organizations that assist in obtaining information for solving crimes.
I commend our law enforcement community for the tremendous job they have done and submit this report for your information and review.
Sincerely,
Kriste Etue
DIRECTOR
